    Isn’t the “gotta be gone 24 hours” thing BS from movies?

    Yes. It’s not an official policy. And it’s stupid, at face value. If someone is kidnapped, then waiting 24 hours before any official report can be filed, would guarantee the person is never found. If a child goes missing, waiting 24 hours to organize a search party, would mean they could be dead before anyone even starts looking for them.

    Whoever told her that, needs to be fired. If you are reasonably certain someone’s life is in danger, and they need to be found quickly…that cop just made sure they wouldn’t be found in time.
